Babies

Three moth­ers got sur­prise Christ­mas presents at the Er­ic Williams Med­ical Sci­ences Com­plex yes­ter­day when they de­liv­ered their sons days be­fore they were due.

Jenise Guer­ra was the first to give birth at 1.04 am to a 7.1-pound boy. Guer­ra, who lives in Ari­ma, said she was caught off guard by labour pains on Christ­mas eve as she was due to give birth to her fourth child on Sat­ur­day. She has two oth­er sons and one daugh­ter.

Weeping for his brain-damaged son Riley, who was taken from his mother’s womb by doctors forceps during an arduous delivery, Randy Jaglal yesterday called for Health Minister Terrence Deyalsingh’s intervention, saying babies were at risk in the old San Fernando General hospital.
